TCC’s Bottom Line

The 2017 Audi A6 is a stellar mid-size luxury sedan; it's a bit sedate, but still good enough to compete with some flagship vehicles from other brands.

The aluminum-bodied 2017 Jaguar XF is no lightweight when it comes to nimble handling or rear-seat space.

TCC Likes

Supreme interior
Very good base transmission
A6 Competition model is interesting

Sleek and attractive shape
Interior-space gains
V-6 or turbo-4 diesel power

TCC Dislikes

Can be pricey when fully equipped
Rear space can be tight
A7 is just too good-looking

Manual transmission on hold
No word on the gas-powered turbo-4
Less distinctive than before
